Live long and prosper with the Star Trek App for Windows Phone 8

I’m having a hard time recalling any other apps in the Windows Phone Store that are aimed squarely at all the Trekkies out there. But you do have one now, Star Trek App for Windows Phone 8 is a promotional app for the upcoming film: Star Trek: Into Darkness. Let’s check it out.

The Star Trek App is available on iOS and Android, but we typically don’t get many promotional apps like this on Windows Phone. Take it as a good sign that things are changing for the little OS that could. So what do you get with this Star Trek App? Some nifty features to help get you pumped for the film that comes out in about two weeks.

Stay up-to-date on the latest Star Trek Into Darkness news

Exclusive articles found only in the app

Sweepstakes to win prizes like an official uniform

Exclusive offers from partners

Trivia and polls

And more

One thing they don’t mention in the app description is that you’ll have the ability to purchase tickets through Fandango to a pre-screening of Star Trek: Into Darkness on May 15. Two days before it’s supposed to hit theaters on the 17th.

Live long and prosper. Anyone stoked for the movie?

He'll be the one to save it. As a diehard fan, I realize that the mass majority of the public must find these movies appealing. I think he did that with the first and I look forward to what he'll do with this new one.

It's quite Ferengi of you to think profit==saving it, but assisting in the bastardization of the franchise is not saving it so much as it's just dumbing it down for the mainstream. What I got out of the first film was: glorified fanfic. I was surprised Spock and Kirk weren't made to have a passionate love scene on the bridge while Bones said, "Damn it, Jim, I'm a sexual being, not a eunuch!" before he joins in and, then, a red shirt guy dies randomly just because.

It's not very touch-friendly on my Lumia 920. The "are you one of the 1701" form was teeny tiny. Also took me a couple tries to successfully buy tickets to the fan sneak preview... I got there eventually though ;)
